The Cephalopod Coffeehouse: November 2014

The last Friday of the month is time for The Cephalopod Coffeehouse, a chance for bloggers to get together and discuss the best books they have read in the last month. Hosted by The Armchair Squid it is a wonderful chance to gain new entries for your to be read list and of course make new friends.

So grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair and find out what I have been reading this month that I haven't all ready bored you with. Which is Terry Goodkind's Chainfire, the ninth book in the Sword of Truth series which I have been reading amid all my other reading.

As I may have mention a time or two, Richard and Kahlan rank highly in my top fictional couples of all time so the fact that Chainfire starts of with Richard critically injured and Kahlan missing and wiped from the memories of all but Richard does not a happy Melissa make.

This book also puts Richard in mortal danger from a beast that the Emperor Jagang has had his Sister's of the Dark cook up. A relic of sorts from the great war. Chainfire at times abounds with all sorts of action but there are a part or two that drag. No book is perfect, it is however enjoyable. Definitely in the top three I have read this month.

I keep on meaning to look into these books because I always see people mentioning them.

This week I finished reading the last in Terry Pratchett's Bromeliad trilogy, then read a free Kindle book called Old Christmas by Washington Irving (which talks about a traditional Christmas back in the 1800s) and now I'm on my reread of The Hobbit in preparation for the last film next month. :-)

January has been an interesting month for me so far. I had a strong start thanks to using my Audible credit for December on a "self help book" which really shook me into action. My first week of cross offs are in purple.

Hi everyone! Time for the Friendly Fill-Ins.Be sure to add your link at McGuffy's Reader, 1. The flu shot ______________________.

3. I (almost) always , because . 4. I (almost) never because .
My answers:
1) The flu shot is something I never miss because I work with the public. 2) I think everyone should take naps daily. 3) I (almost) always stay up too late, because I drink too much coffee. 4) I (almost) never go out and do fun things, because between the kids, work and studying I am too tired to do more than Netflix.

Now, strange things keep happening to Lizzie. Things that are omens of darkness to come. A curse has doomed her to die an early death, just as she did in her past life. To make matters worse, even if she can figure out who cast the curse, it's irreversible. There's only one option left for her to save herself. It's crazier than anything she's heard yet, and to do it, she'll need Drew and Chelsea's help.

Because to make things right, they must go back in time to when it all began... and Lizzie discovers that the final events in her past life were more sinister than she ever imagined.
